What are internships and apprenticeships? Should I do internships while I am at University? What is a sandwich year? What will I learn on an internship? What is the difference between an internship and an apprenticeship?

Here to help me answer all of these questions and much more this week is Alice Turner, Alice is a Design Team Leader responsible for the print methods & processes at a renowned print and embroidered merchandise company. She has a passion for textile print and embroidery as well as a keen creative eye for detail. Alice completed a variety of internships through her placement year at University which gave her a fantastic insight into the industry and the skills required to succeed.
